Michel, my message you are referring to obtained question(s) not anyMDAs a native speaker of Albanian, you have rightly felt the connection between Ulysses and Odysseus and Albanian udë (and Romanian uditzâ small road, and with the change d>l, Russian ulitsa street) has been dismissed unceremoniously... Haven't you felt the current coming against you ?
tentation to go on countercurrent..
If you know the ethymology of those words I would appreciate it very
much if you show it for me. I am taking notes, believe it or not.I don´t think even Piotr thinks the same as you when you
say: "...Illyro-Albanian continuity is but a purely imaginative andchauvinistic belief professed by Albanians".MD
Don't misunderstand me Alvin ! I wrote "the credo of the followers
of the "normal method" is that the Illyro-Albanian continuity is but a purely imaginative and chauvinistic belief professed by Albanians". I would certainly not say that since I'm convinced that Albanian is the direct descendant of Illyrian.
Best regards
Michel
